My best tip would be to not psych yourself out. I've felt underprepared going into each section that I've taken, but I've also come to terms with the fact that it is nearly impossible to know everything that is going to be thrown at you. Be confident in what you know and go into your exam with a clear head and a positive attitude!

FAR - 10/1/13 - 78
AUD - 11/14/13 - 77
REG - 1/12/14 - 78
BEC - 2/23/14- 74, 5/29/14- 84!! I'm Done!!

My best tip for studying for the CPA exam is to do your best to find an efficient way of studying. Some students learn best from reading, some learn best from doing problems, etc. Find what works for you best and emphasize that, you don't need to follow the review programs perfectly!

My best tip is to mentally prepare yourself for what you're about to do and COMMIT. This is not something that you can put forth minimal effort and squeak by. Make a realistic plan and stick to it. Nothing worth having comes easy, and this is no exception. Work hard and when you want to quit, just remember it will all be worth it in the end.

Make sure you aren't memorizing the MCQs as you go through them. Walk through each one and explain (to yourself, your pet, your SO, etc) why the answer is right and why the other choices are wrong.

One I'm learning now… don't study too far in advance. You'll forget what you learned/reviewed early on, and will just spin your wheels repeating what you've already done. Get your (effective) hours in each week and get it over with!

FAR - 73, rematch in early April
AUD - 5/14
REG - 8/14
BEC - 11/14

My tip is for those of you who graduated with enough credits to sit for the exam and you are looking for a job. I think networking is very important sometimes it's about who you know, but also find something that distinguishes you from the rest in interviews. Examples would be debt free after college, worked full time and paid your own way through college, and finding something in common with the interviewer! Keep at it, don't give up!

Best study tip for CPA exam would be this exam is not like your college/ high school accounting exam,it's very challenging and has vast materials to cover for each section. So before moving on make a good detailed plan and study hours. Whichever review course you are using make sure to watch videos once and then attack MCQ's and solve them knowing why you got an answer right/ wrong.Make notes or make use of Ninja notes to supplement. Lastly your confidence, just keep in mind you will do it and move forward.

Good Luck !!
